The Regine Sixt Children's Aid Foundation DRYING LITTLE TEARS, together with SIXT Malta, has supported the construction and equipment of a special therapy room for traumatized children in Malta. The room has been completely renovated and now provides a safe environment for the psychotherapeutic care of children living in homes or foster families.
Around 450 children in Malta are separated from their biological parents and require professional psychological support. The Children in Need Foundation cares for these children through their Mindful@home program with three psychotherapists. The new therapy room has been designed using a trauma-informed approach and features adaptable elements such as large, soft curtains that allow children to customize the space according to their needs. This promotes a sense of security and comfort during therapy sessions.
A particular advantage: The therapy room is not only available to children in care homes, but also to other children who need therapeutic support. George Gregory from Malta Enterprise emphasizes: "These therapy rooms provide children with a safe and supportive environment where they can heal, grow, and build a brighter future."
